County Route 545, abbreviated CR 545, is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 14.76 miles (23.75 km) from Lakehurst Road (CR 530) in Pemberton Township to Park Avenue in Bordentown. There is a 3.38-mile (5.44 km) stretch from Pemberton Boulevard at the Pemberton Township/New Hanover border to Rexall Avenue in Wrightstown that is permanently closed to the general public because of security restrictions in Fort Dix and McGuire AFB.
CR 545 begins at an intersection with CR 530 in the community of Browns Mills in Pemberton Township, heading north-northwest on two-lane undivided Trenton Road. The road passes a mix of homes and businesses, crossing CR 667. The route runs to the west of Deborah Heart and Lung Center before entering wooded areas with residences located along the east side of the road as it enters the grounds of Fort Dix within New Hanover Township and becomes Texas Avenue. After the Range Road intersection, CR 545 reaches a gate into Fort Dix, at which point the general public is prohibited from the road. Along this stretch, the road runs between Fort Dix buildings to the west and McGuire Air Force Base to the east. After a traffic light with an unnamed road, the route becomes Wrightstown Road and intersects CR 616 at a traffic circle, making a turn to the north.
